Neuro Basis: Learning (and the others implicated)

Learning is the process that allows the alteration of the memory content, however for this to take place is necessary the attention, which requires that the being is conscious and have enough motivation to want to store the stimulus. The motivation is controlled through emotion; also mood greatly influences the quantity and quality of knowledge that can be acquired.

In humans there are some steps to manage the existing information or adding the new one:

• Acquisition → reinforcement → learned → Long Term Memory (LTM)
• The time pass: No reinforcement → extinction → forbid

For the learning can be work, the brain must be conscious and it's very important remark the role of the emotion; that is the mental state that manages the motivation which is a drive that enables us to do something; as pay attention(then the perceptions can be processed) or what to save into the memory (also their intensity).

Phases to forming a long-term memory:

- Encoding: extraction information from the input.

  Remember that the brain does not always codes or stores correctly or completely every entry, so many times we don't remember things or are remembered incorrectly and /or incompletely.

- Consolidation: process of establishing the memory (what knowledge goes to the MLP); usually is made during the sleeping (before the dreaming phase)

- Store. Types:

• Hierarchies: organizing related pieces from the most specific feature they have in common to the most general.
• Schemes: episodic memory
• Associative network: chain of associations between related concepts.

- Retrieval: access to the stored knowledge

Computer Emulation: The system

The main objective of this system is receiving natural language as input, analyze the sentence, for extracting (learning) and storing (memorization) their content. Also answer questions about the concepts and their characteristics.

Language in the brain can run for some paths (from Thalamus) before arrive to the point of analyze the message (to Wernicke's area):

There is a big difference between emulating Braille input (using a keyboard), and the rest of inputs; the message doesn't bring any emotional charge, neither is necessary to mix the data of both hemispheres.

And produce several forms of external responses:

• Writing [shows by screen]
• Talking[speaker reproduction] not implemented yet
• Body action, such as gesture, movement . . . [robot actions or other device orders] not implemented yet

Also some internals:

• Learning
• Emotional changes (not sure if it's implementable :( )
